Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef (boneless, cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
- 2 medium Onions (finely chopped)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger (grated)
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Garam masala
- 2 medium Tomatoes (chopped)
- 200 ml Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Tamarind pulp
- 200 ml Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves (chopped)
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Mix in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and red chili powder. Cook the spices for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they break down and form a thick paste, about 6-8 minutes.
Add the beef pieces to the pan and stir well to coat them with the spice mixture.
Pour in 200 ml of water and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Cover and simmer on low heat for 35-40 minutes, or until the beef is tender, stirring occasionally.
Once the beef is cooked, reduce the heat and stir in the coconut milk and tamarind pulp. Let the curry simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Sprinkle garam masala on top and give it a final stir. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with steamed rice or Goan bread.
